The Funk Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 I've always thought of him as being "that guy who wrote every classic blues song and riff who just happened to play bass" but check out this video. He [i]was[/i] pretty handy on the bass too! Quote

Shambo Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Hearing him backing BB King was the main reason I wanted to take up the bass. Quote
